Does New Jersey require LLC estimated tax payments?

What form do I file for a LLC in New Jersey?
LLC entities in New Jersey file using Form State LLC return. You can download the form from New Jersey Division of Taxation at https://www.nj.gov/treasury/taxation.
Can I get an extension for my New Jersey LLC tax return?
Yes. New Jersey allows an extension for LLC returns until Sep 15, 2026. Note that an extension gives you more time to file, not more time to pay — any tax owed is still due by the original deadline of Mar 16, 2026.
What are the penalties for filing late in New Jersey?
New Jersey typically charges a failure-to-file penalty (usually 5% of unpaid tax per month, up to 25%) and a failure-to-pay penalty (usually 0.5-1% per month). Interest also accrues on unpaid balances. Filing for an extension by the original deadline avoids the failure-to-file penalty but not the failure-to-pay penalty.
